We played Serbia 3 times this cycle, smoked them twice, one of which KD didn’t even play in, and the 3rd time they were able to keep it close in large part due to highly unsustainable 3-pt shooting. In 2028, Jokic & Bogdanovic will be 33 & 35, and they currently have no one in the pipeline flashing star potential.
And who knows? 4 years is a long time. 4 years ago, Ant hadn’t played a game in the NBA and people were debating whether James Wiseman would be a better prospect, now he’s being hailed as the future of American basketball.
What y’all fail to realize is those foreign stars are all spread out. We’re not going against Team World, we’re going against individual countries.
Slovenia is literally Luka and nothing else, same with Greece and Giannis. Y’all hyped SGA & Canada to the moon this year and they came out and got punked. Wemby looks to be monster but some of those other French young players have to pan out too and that’s far from a sure thing based on their track record.
Idk I just find it crazy that y’all are giving the benefit of the doubt to these countries that have never won anything but are uncertain about the one with an 80 year history of winning gold and by far the largest talent pool
nikkas just want to be edgyAmerican still has the deepest talent pool out of all these countries by far.
Nah. You nikkas just love burying your head in the sand when it comes to US basketball and throwing emojis around. That's why y'all got all sassy about Noah Lyles shooting darts y'all way before the World Championship.
This has happened in the past before everytime y'all get arrogant another country kicks down the buildings and then they gotta BEG an all time great to come save them. Coach K and the players had to BEG Kobe to come help save them just like Bron and Steph had to put capes on this time. Steve Kerr ain't helping keep nothing with his tactical prowess. There ain't gonna be no Bron or Steph next time for us, but those other countries will have Wemby and Luka and Giannis and Jokic.
